Oxford Bus and Thames Travel

If you don’t already know the bus routes and the most up to date route changes, don’t feel bad about yourself! This official app doesn’t know that either! This app has unreliable live tracking information. Bus routes are different from what it shows, and it has a habit of showing fantom departures if you select a stop.

Having issue specifically with the Harwell Campus Oxford Roundtrip ticket. Ticket says no stage coach which google defines as a horse driven carriage. So far so good. App keeps routing me via 300 and ST1 but ticket does not work on 300. Why is that?

This use of this app lead to a disastrous experience trying to get from Heathrow to Oxford. The only option it showed for pick up was several miles from the airport, near a business parking lot. We took an airport shuttle there, only to learn the bus stop was a decent walk away, through a weird industrial park. After finally finding our bus stop, the bus drove right by and didn’t stop! We tried to flag it down with no luck. At that point we were stranded several miles away from the airport and out the 5 pounds I paid for a day pass. Overall, using this app wasted 2 hours and resulted in a $140 Uber. Just go to the bus station at the airport and ignore the app completely.
